Passover

In this text, Mary and Joseph accidentally leave Jesus behind at the temple when they are traveling home from Jerusalem. Once they find Jesus, he asks them why they were surprised that he had stayed at the temple, which is described in the text as “my Father’s house.” This text is the only story of Jesus’ childhood in any of the canonical Gospels. Only Luke found it necessary to include this image of Jesus. Other gospels, like the Infancy Gospel of Thomas, depict Jesus as a child, but these…

Agape love if it is Eros love. If a day is made to celebrate romantic love let us stick to it. Yes, we love ourselves and should celebrate love everyday same goes with the story of Jesus on the cross, we know that every day but we celebrate it during Passover. I love myself but Valentine’s Day is a day to celebrate a different kind of love. “ • “Don’t comfort yourselves and think that Valentine’s Day is about #TeamSingle” • I agree, if you single there 's no need to feel left out, spoil…

Consider watching people and families being tortured, and slowly die just because of something they believe in. Imagine all of the pain and suffering it would have caused. This is what had happened to Elie Wiesel, Elie was born into a Jewish family on September 30th, 1928 in Romania. Elie had started his life, like a normal Jewish boy would up until the age of thirteen. At the age of thirteen he had become very observant of the things going around him, leading him to tell his dad “find me a…

Western culture has always included a strong element of mysticism in its traditions. Mysticism is strongly based on the occurrences of revelations: experiences in which Divine knowledge is disclosed to someone, usually in the form of some incredible happenstance (for example, a bush that burns but never turns to ash.) Revelation is where all three major world religions started. Even more than that, revelation is appealing to both humans and God: to humans, because it means that anyone can gain…

God uses certain people to impact many others. After reading the first twenty chapters of Exodus, it is clear that God was still living out his promise to Abraham through Moses. Moses’ lineage traces back to Jacob, Isaac, and Abraham. God placed the infant Israelite, Moses, in Pharaoh’s household, speaks to Moses, uses Moses to free the Israelites and finally taught the Israelites of God’s laws in these chapters. God’s covenant to Abraham included all of Abraham’s decedents taking over the…

From 10 A.D. to 55 A.D. Jews faced constant persecution. Being a small community, they could never withstand the large Roman population. The Romans never had the Jews’ best interests in mind. There were several events that lead to the revolt from the Jews. The Jewish population during this time were entirely justified in their revolt. After withstanding several years of religious persecution, unjust punishment and actions against, and the murder of far too many Jews, the Jews led a rebellion…

In The Chosen, by Chaim Potok, one theme wove its way throughout the entire story: friendship. It shaped Danny and Reuven’s life, and even affected both of their fathers’ lives as well. Friendship played a tremendous role when Danny felt depressed because of his experimental phycology class, as Reuven’s father had a heart attack needed hospitalization, and most of all, as Danny and his father overcame their silence. The story has the idea of friendship all through it, yet friendship affects…

However, the holiday's religious significance is far less than that of Rosh Hashanah, Yom Kippur, Sukkot, Passover, and Shavu'ot. It is roughly equivalent to Purim in significance, and you won't find many non-Jews who have even heard of Purim! Chanukkah is not mentioned in Jewish scripture; the story is related in the book of Maccabees, which Jews do not accept…

Hannah’s actual aunt in both the book and the movie. In both Hannah/Chaya learns that her forte is, on the contrary, remembering. In addition, the plot is also strongly similar in being elaborate. Both mediums include a girl protagonist who is at a Passover Seder, but is transported into Poland next during WW2. It is telling of her journey in the camps and with the hundreds of people she sees comingㅡand leaving. The devil’s arithmetic, they call it. Not only was the plot the same, but also the…
